Tho Water of Quebec.

The water Of Quebec Is very hurtful to
strungers. The tourist buys 1t floating around
loosely in the river Or done up in bottles at
the corner groceries. All erocers keep it. A
few grocers keep, also, few crackers ana
cheese with few boxes and barrels standing
around doing silent service like political lies,
but the water they sell is what they rely on
for profits l forgot to say that the bottles
in which they keep the water are labeled
with different names, but the tourist will find
the water about tue same in oil Of them. The
only difference seems to be i'll the time it takes
the water to operate. II you take the water
that is loose in the river your funeral will oc-
cur the next morning, but you will die sane.
II you buy the bottled water OF the corner
groceries you will linger along several days,
but you will be delirious. But il you drink
the bottled water Of the restaurant bar you
will drop dead on the spot.
But if the water%f Quebec is peculiar, tho
soup of the country-not the hotel soup, but
the real, genuine habitanS SOUPS delicious.
Why can't Americans make soup? Our soups
are thill-a dash Of flavor In sprayof water
-or else they ore heavy, sluggish, stagnant.
They drug you; they bloat you; they mako
you feel like puddle Of soiled water. But
here the farmers wives and merketwcmen,
even, make soups that are as fresh rs clover
and buoyant os champagne. The 1avoring
of some of these country made soups is mar
velous. There will often be seven flavors in
your dish and all well blended-a harmony

Cure for Hasty Heading.

The cheap paper editions with which the
country is now flooded arc undoins the evii

through in certain time-noc longer thull
two weels-is usually from necessity SKINNED

To read book properly, its pages ought to
be free from marginal notes, markings, ETC.,
but this cannot be done with library books
